So let's see how many games can realistically be made in the first year of NX's lifecycle. I'll put equivalent games next to the ones released on Wii U, plus I'll only list one game funded by Nintendo made for every third party studios (i.e. Bayo 3 for Platinum Games), that's not counting portings (i.e. Smash4 NX from Banadai) and big companies such as Square, Bandai or Ubisoft. Also I'll consider when possible portings to be made from development teams outside of Nintendo since most of their portings are made by external teams such as Tanalus and Grezzo ( SMM has to be ported by Nintendo because it solely revolves on the levels saved on their servers and their older Mario games, but I'm shure such a port wouldn't take more than a couple months to be made...)

So there you have it, 23 titles are still to be filled, I have not counted what most of the internal teams at Nintendo could do excluding the 3D Mario, Mario Kart and the Nintendo Land sequel. It's to be noticed that many of the remaining titles are either portions of other titles/spin-offs related to minigames (for example Captain Toad). Moreover I don't know why LEGO City Undercover was counted and there are also a couple really bad games (Devil's Thurd, Mario Tennis, Amiibo Festival, I'm looking at you...)
